See where restaurant tech stands and where it’s headed
How resilient is restaurant technology during digital or system disruptions? To find out, we partnered with QSR Magazine to survey hundreds of quick-service operators and decision makers.
POS problems, network outages and more, respondents reported facing a multitude of risks that sideline their ability to operate efficiently. Despite the reality that just 1% downtime can cost tens of thousands in lost revenue annually, research shows that just half of respondents felt moderately confident in their systems' ability to bounce back after an interruption. Today's restaurants rely on connected tools across POS, digital ordering, kitchen displays, inventory, staffing and automation. If a system fails, that failure can spread fast.
